A recent Display Research study shows has prices of TVs have fallen 22 percent over the past year. This has been a trend over several years. But this year presents a new twist – not that it is a shock. Prices of plasmas have dropped 27 percent while prices CRT TVs have actually risen 4 percent. Obviously this is a wonderful sign that tube TVs are a dead technology.

While prices have dropped differently around the world, large panel LCD
HDTVs have dropped in price by the largest amount – roughly 30
percent. At the same time, small panel LCDs only dropped by about five
percent.

Extravagant price drops are expected to occur over this holiday season.
